Group Rejects Primate Ayodele’s Prophecy Concerning Tinubu, APC

The All Progressives Congress League of Professionals (ALP) has rejected in strong terms a prophecy from the Primate of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Prophet Elijah Babatunde Ayodele, warning President Bola Ahmed Tinubu not to run for Presidency come 2027.

A press statement issued by ALP National Coordinator, Comrade Marlin Daniel, the group describes the primates remarks as meddlesome and warned him against unguarded utterances on matters outside his spiritual domain and expertise.

“Primate Elijah Ayodele must resort to using the pulpit and his office on society to meddle and distract elected leaders from performing their constitutional duties. Giving financial advice on foreign loans to an elected President is laughable. For the avoidance of doubt, taking foreign loans to fund national projects is not fiscally irresponsible and economically unjust as Ayodele has insinuated.

“Asking President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to be wary of President Donald Trump of the United States is a diplomatic gaffe Nigeria cannot afford to commit. Diplomacy is not based on religious laws and can not be regulated by religious edicts and pronouncements.

“Whereas fiscal discipline is crucial to nation building, Ayodele must not assume to role of economic advisor to counsel Mr. President on the use of natural resources. The current administration is already in partnership with states endowed with mineral resources in line with already existing extant laws and frameworks. His comments are therefore, not needed.

“Again, Primate Ayodele’s comments on the establishment of State Police are misplaced and irrelevant especially at a time the President is considering the possibility of establishing State Police. This is what many Nigerians have yearned for and any comment to the contrary is counterproductive and won’t be tolerated”, the statement noted.

On the capacity and credibility of the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, the group rebutted the illogical and irrational assertion as a sponsored propaganda against the ruling party ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda that we know is an accomplished academic and administrator who has distinguished himself in every given responsibility. To insinuate that he won’t deliver victory to the APC in the 2027 election is scandalous to say the least.

“Currently, Prof. Nentawe is vigorously working across board to unite and reconcile aggrieved party members and strategically planning towards ensuring a resounding victory for APC. Anybody who says our amiable Chairman does not have what it takes to convincingly give the party victory in the 2027 general election is disilusonal.

The statement “urged all Nigerians to disregard Primate Ayodele’s comments and continue to support the party, especially its National Chairman who is dedicated and determined to ensure the party’s victory in an effort to sustain the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President”.
